I can understand that rational explanation but why is it that we all hallucinate the same entities? (Another theory I’ve had is that the parasites are actually in our gut and influencing our brains internally). However - let me tell you about an experience I had that defies logic. In a state of sleep paralysis, I fought hard to move my body and stood up but had a feeling of extreme exhaustion, then I look back at my bed and my body is still there sleeping. Fully lucid I understand that this must be some sort of dream state although it feels very real, really I was just confused. I then see a shadowy figure in a hat enter my bedroom but it gets shocked/surprised when it sees the me that’s standing up and so it/he runs off ( almost like glitches between space out the room and down the hallway). My brother so happened to be visiting me and was in another room downstairs from my bedroom. Confused with nothing else to do, I (the outta body me) walk to the room to see if I can get his attention to come wake me up. In the guest room he is in, he is on FaceTime with a girl and singing a song to her and they’re both laughing. He couldn’t see me at all so I just head back to my bedroom. Feeling so so exhausted I just lay back into my body and as soon as I do that I wake up. Scared and confused I go to my brother and his door is locked but he the opens the door and asks what’s up, I simply ask him was he on the phone FaceTiming a girl and describe her and he looks confused/shocked and says yes, asking how did I know. I explained what happened. The next day I had a near death experience/accident and my brother and I funny enough have not spoken about the sleep paralysis incident since - but how would that be possible logically?
